Description

The importance of administration in the EU has been growing progressively together with the development of EU competences and tasks in the internal market. From the original model of a Community leaving enforcement with the Member States, the EU has become a complex legal order where administrative tasks are spread among different actors, including EU institutions, EU agencies and national administrations. Within this complex administrative law landscape, agencies and their powers have been essentially upgraded. This volume asks whether any such upgrade is compatible with EU law and its principles. Exploring both the case law of the CJEU and the regulation relating to EU agencies, the volume asks a crucial question about the legitimacy of the ever-increasing role of agencies in the enforcement of EU law.

Reviews

Simoncinis book represents a fundamental landmark in the study of administrative power at European level. Through analysis of the evolutionary agencies powers this text marks a decisive step in the study and deepening of the constitutional balance of European powers by finally giving a role and an autonomous place of prominence (autonomous dignity) to administrative power in this delicate balance. -- Claudia Figliolia, Postdoctoral Fellow in Administrative Law, University of Rome Tor Vergata * Italian Journal of Public Law *
